I feel like we are slowly getting to the situation the Three Stooges were in where they all owe each other money. Bots make the numbers go up which gets investors interested giving money to the company. C levels make money which they invest in other companies who's numbers are boosted by bots and this cycle begins again.

You owe me $20. Here's $10, I'll owe you. But you owe me $20. Here' $10 I'll owe you. Here's the $10 I owe you. And here's the $10 I owe you.

So then anyone who uses a computer to make music would be in violation?

Or is it some amount of computer generated content? How many notes? If its not a sample of a song, how does one know how much of those notes are attributed to which artist being stolen from?

What if I have someone else listen to a song and they generate a few bars of a song for me? Is it different that a human listened and then generated output?

To me it sounds like artists were open to some types of violations but not others. If an AI model listened to the radio most of these issues go away unless we are saying that humans who listen to music and write similar songs are OK but people who write music using computers who calculate the statistically most common song are breaking the law.

the slippery slope here is that you as an artist hear music on the radio, in movies and TV, commercials. All this hearing music is training your brain. If an AI company just plugged in an FM radio and learned from that music I'm sure that a lawsuit could start to make it that no one could listen to anyone's music without being tainted.

and knowing russians, he won't even respond to actions. they will need to remove him by force.

while i don't think it should be a moral issue, i think we need to stop trying to make this a fair argument out of some desire to be on some high ground here. what you described is fucked up and we should give them no latitude. it is theft even if they made the laws. the staggering level of difference in energy put forth versus compensation is ridiculous. When someone makes more in an hour than their least paid employee will gross over their entire lifetime...there should be no justification for the billionaire's existence.

Nah he is just the epitome of bigotry. He hates everyone because he is a loser and everyone who has been around him knows it. There is no fixing that.

They do understand that. The problem IS "long term." Most C level types don't care about any term longer than their tenure. This is why we see layoffs before quarterly reports. There isn't an incentive for them to look any furthure into the future.

Now if a CEO could only cash out after 10 or 20 years of the company doing well then we would see change. If they made the company average untill they were a decade or two in as a vesting term then keeping happy employees would be important.

it does say to the best of his ability. so maybe he is technically doing it?

my first linux install was on a 486 from a box of floppies we got at a computer convention in the late 90s. Back then you had to do all sorts of crazy setup steps like figuring out drive layouts and screen frequencies. It was craziness but when you're 13 and want to tinker with computers that's what you did.
